Madison Nails

I was just a walk-​in as my nail lady of many years moved away. I told them I just wanted an acrylic fill with plain old polish. They said it’d be about 15 minutes. I waited for 30 minutes, but it was really busy and I didn’t mind the wait.
Once one of the ladies got started, she was quick. Maybe too quick as the machine she used to trim back my nails got very hot and uncomfortable.
Once she was done she got out the solar gel to fill my nails even though I repeatedly said acrylic works better on my nails. Thankfully, I was paying attention and corrected her but she still tried to upsell me to the solar gel.
I typically just get regular nail polish and top coat, but she put on the gelish without asking me first. I was tired and just wanted to get out of there at that point, so I just let it go.
My total here came to $ 30. Not including the tip! It was only $ 16 for an acrylic fill at my former place. Maybe that’s the going rate for fills these days but I will not be going here again.
While the outcome was good, the experience was awful. For the price I paid, I expect a more comfortable experience with a relaxing environment.

I used to be a regular customer. Great pricing, lovely nail techs, all around great experiences. This time I came in for a mani-​pedi and the woman who was doing my nails wanted to start with the manicure, which made no sense. When I asked about it, she just tried to sell me on a gel manicure and pedicure instead of regular polish so we wouldn’t have to deal with the dry time. I declined and said we’d just skip the pedicure if she didn’t want to start there. She immediately backtracked and got me into a pedicure chair and what followed was a really sub-​par experience. Cold water, totally ignoring me, paying more attention to her coworkers than the cuticle nippers she was weilding. Overall terrible experience, never coming back.

The ladies working here were very friendly and not overly pushy. We arrived not too long after they opened and were quickly seated. The girl working on my toes got my chair set up for me and got me a heated neck wrap right away.
We both received the deluxe pedicure. I can honestly say this is one of the best pedi’s I’ve ever received. Each time I thought the massage on my feet and legs was over, they did more. It was incredibly relaxing and they were very thorough.
It was about average for a deluxe pedi I’d say at $ 35 PP. With my Shellac, I ended up paying $ 80 for the both of us without tip.
Will definitely be back.

The technician cut the skin on my finger, then glued the cut. It might have been okay, except she cut into more skin when she cut out the glue. Don’t you think if you leave the salon looking worse than you came in, the service should be free? The only thing I got was «it’ll be okay», not really, I had a job interview the next day.

Great service, great pedicure. Even had my brows waxed here. Friendly and clean. Reasonably priced.

My mom went with me to get our nails done and they really messed hers up (see picture that was posted). Besides that they weren’t very friendly. The first time we came in we had a great experience, this time not so much. My nails came out ok but there was a misunderstanding and the girl was trying to put two colors on my nails when I only asked for one. She spoke and understood maybe a couple words in English. Then when I showed her what I wanted, she gave me attitude even though I was very friendly and apologized (even though it wasn’t really my fault). Really sad, now we have to find another nail place.

First time here and they were wonderful with my daughter and I. Fairly priced and clean.

Tiffany is fabulous! I’ve been going to Madison Nails for about 2 years for gel manis/​pedis and eyebrow waxing. I’m PICKY and Tiffany and Lily always do a great job. Everyone is friendly and the salon is clean. I recommend Madison Nails with confidence.

This is an amazing nail salon! The associates are professional, friendly and gorgeous! They have the latest and greatest colors and have the appearance of really keeping up with trends as well as quality service. This is hands down the best nail salon I have ever been too. The ladies keep their own nails and appearance up and it makes you truly feel like you’re walking out a new woman!

Found my new nail salon in Vancouver! I’ve been here twice now and both times had a gel manicure done by John. He is an expert! Will definitely be coming back!

I’m soooo happy with my nails! I went with my friend today to Madison Nails because I’m leaving for a trip in less than a week. We were originally going to go somewhere else, but my friend suggested this place since it was clean and the staff are very nice. Vivian did my nails, and she did a phenomenal job! She’s a true artist and it shows in her work! Will definitely be returning to Vivian when I come back and am in need of a touch up!

Love LOVE THIS PLACE! Everyone does a great job. Sometimes it gets busy but we’ll worth the wait. You can always call and schedule an appointment. I will come continue to come here!

Yay! The wifi at Madison Nails was reinstated within a couple of weeks. It’s so handy for me and others to catch up on email while we are waiting. Thank you, Madison Nails! You’re the best!

WOW, UNBELIEVABLE, the «owner» of the shop sent me an EXTREMELY rude email and FALSE accusations for my HONEST review! This is how low this place is!!.

I have been to several places in Vancouver, but Madison Nails is by far my favorite place to get a pedicure. Their regular pedi, is like other salons’ deluxe. I live on the west side of town, but it’s worth the drive.

Went in 8 days ago for shellac. It looked pretty good, but noticed she didn’t paint that many coats as I have had in previous shellac experiences. Well, my nails starting peeling after 6 days. My usual shellac nails last 14 days + with no chipping. I always have to peel it off myself. Wasn’t impressed.

I walked in for a gel manicure and was extremely happy with the results. They’re professional, careful and efficient, and very affordable. While there is a language barrier, my technician introduced herself and asked my name, and made and effort to remember it. Will definitely be back.

We had a coupon for this place, otherwise, we would have stayed at 10 Nails down the street.
The color selection was sparse, especially with the neutrals. I eventually found one.
The prices are a little extreme for a so-​so experience. Maybe i’ve been spoiled at 10 Nails with the hot rocks, hot wax, hot towels, etc. and i’m pretty sure theyre still cheaper than here.
I’m big into the massaging portion of pedicures. I haven’t had a good leg/​foot massage in what seems like forever. (Let me know if anyone has had a good one somewhere, and who was it by?!?)
But my time in the water was really short. The water wasn’t very warm in mine, which i’m sure i could have asked for, but my feet were pretty chilly after a while, especially when I had to take them out of the water.
In the end, the paint job turned out okay, maybe it was just the polish.
They did let us sit in the chairs for as long as we wanted though, but they were about to close and nobody was waiting.
I’m not sure if I would return, but the girls were all so nice, so maybe you can try it and see what you think!

Poorest service ever. Helped others in front of me, rude. Don’t go here. Pedi not bad if you can wait that long.

I must say that I do like this place. The gals in here are much more friendlier than many. My first time there Twin worked on my nails. I have had my nails done from a range of places and don’t get my wrong I have my favorites (however she is no longer in business). I cant paint my nails to save my life. I get too impatient and end up smudging the crap out of them not to mention I have more polish on and around my nail than what is actually on my nail.
Recently I started treating myself to a paint every two weeks. I have now gone to 3 different locations in town and will say that TWIN has won! I spend about $ 3 more. I am a strong believer that you get what you pay for and seriously in the big picture what is $ 3???
Definitely recommend!
